YES YOU CAN HELP !!!!

Southern Sun, one of HowLo’s valued corporate clients, came to our showroom with an unusual request. One of their employees, a quadriplegic, was in a continually declining state of health. Southern Sun, however, felt that their staff member was still able to offer value to their organisation providing that they could continue to work even though bed ridden.
They were interested in HowLo’s unique hospital arm (A910). This bracket can swing about 2 metres off the wall. Its mobility allows for extensive movement and can swing a screen right down to bed height. However, they needed to have a keyboard included in the structure. By using other brackets from HowLo’s extensive range, we managed to come up with a practical and effective solution to their challenge. Tel: 011 805 3691 OR E-mail: paul@howlo.co.za

“A MODERN DAY SOUTH AFRICAN STORY”

Hit again and againJust over 18 months ago Brian Grant, a member of All Saints’ in Kabega Park, had his Kombi stolen from outside church during a morning service, and on 20 February the replacement Kombi burnt out.

Brian is a quadraplegic and runs a garden service so needs the Kombi to travel in and take his staff around. He was attending a meeting at the quadhouse on the Tuesday evening and Ken, who drives for him, was to collect him at 19h00. When Ken turned the Kombi engine on, billows of smoke started coming from the back. He ran for water and the garden hose, but within minutes the Kombi was ablaze. Passers-by stopped to help and three of them brought fire extinguishers, but to no avail. A fire-engine arrived to help too but the whole of the back end of the Kombi was burnt out. A devastated Brian was brought to the scene by a friend and looked on in disbelief that he could lose a second Kombi.

His wife Joy said she praised God that her husband was not in the Kombi when it caught alight because it would have been very difficult to get him out in time. Both Brian and Joy thanked the many friends who have held them up during these difficult times.

Not only have the Grants been hit by the loss of the two Kombis but near the end of last year they were burgled and all their computers, their TV and much more was stolen, then on Tuesday 6 March they were burgled again.

Rainy Sunday Afternoon

Another rainy day in Cape Town but why complain. Province won the rugby yesterday, Anton and Johanne both enjoyed Birthdays, and we won some more medal at the Olympics...
